Space Cookies

A few weeks ago the lovely people over at DotComGiftshop asked me if I would like to review some of their cookie cutters on this blog, which of course I jumped at offer.

I was immediately drawn to the little space boy cutters, it only seemed fitting after all the space news in the media. My lovely but nerdy boyfriend has a keen interest in the stars (and a masters in Astrophysics) so he has been keeping me up to date with Curiosity’s progress. Not to mention the sad passing of Neil Armstrong first man on the moon.

I am really impressed by the cutters, they’re of a really good quality, they don’t flex and bend whilst cutting chilled dough. They were bigger than I expected too, I thought as a 3 pack the smallest cutter would be minute, but I found it to be the perfect size for personalised cookies.

My original plan was to decorate the biscuit using an outline and flooding technique but I fell in love with the little spaceship biscuits in Waitrose and they’re royal icing decoration.

These cookies would make lovely treats for children (or not so grown up men) or boys place settings for dinner parties. I am quite excited about remaking these cookies with a batch of star ones as a fireworks and rockets for bonfire night.

Thank you again DotComGiftshop for sending me such a lovely product to try, I really recommend heading over to their site.
